Heathrow 1966 Work in Progress

[TobyV]

Hi Wolfgang,

I am using rather old, primitive and simple tools to create my scenery:

Aerial photos placed and scaled in Airport v2.6 and SCASM by using a triangulation of keypoints, normally located on aerial photography or other known locations in the sim itself. AFCAD2 for the taxiways, runways parking and navaids, EOD by Matthias Brückner for the buildings themselves and an old copy of Ulead PhotoImpact and DXTBmp for the textures!

With many of my airports, either the old buildings have been completely removed and replaced (Southampton), the whole airfield is no longer existent or even with Heathrow using the earliest satellite imagery, some buildings have been modified to the point where it's very hard to work out what was original and what was added later! For this, old maps, photos and a good degree of guessing and then making estimates on a pocket calculator are invaluable!

Hello chaps,

Unfortunately no progress since my last posts. I can only really work on this when I am in the UK on my old PC and that's only a couple of times a year nowadays. Sorry!
